Whether you are building your bathroom from the

Bathroom vanities, which usually consist of a table, mirror and a chair or stool, are a great place for storing your toiletries (combs, brushes, powders, perfumes...). The only disadvantage of these is the space they require. Vanities can come as decorative or plain, as expensive or inexpensive as you like.

Bathroom cabinets are another option if you need more storage space. They can be freestanding and full-length or come in the form of shelves installed on the wall or above the toilet. Whether made of wood or metal they add functionality and depending on the design and style you choose can add to the look and feel of the room.

You may opt for a freestanding bathtub or a walk-in or a claw-foot bathtub. In any case, your bathtub is not only a place for washing but also a place where can totally withdraw from the world and be totally self-indulgent, even if for a little while.

A bathroom mirror is an important part of your bathroom. It helps you prepare your appearance for the image conscious world. It also brightens the room by helping expand the lighting. Whether you choose a round mirror, rectangular mirror, a decorative mirror or a plain mirror, it plays an important roll in the design of your bathroom.

Bathroom sinks and fixtures come in a very wide variety of colors, shapes and designs. They can be in-set; sit on top of the cabinet; freestanding on a pedestal; or wall mounted. Sinks are no longer just for washing. They play a big part in the look and feel of your bathroom. They can make your bathroom a showplace.

Other bathroom furniture items are magazine racks, wall shelves and toilet paper holders. All serving the purposes they were designed for and providing more functionality and ways for altering the nuance of your bathroom.
